Objective To provide the anatomical basis for the flap based on the perforator of Plantar arch,through investigation of the morphological features of the perforator of the arch of the foot.Methods From November,2015 to March,2016,the first metatarsal base and the fifth metatarsal tuberosity were chosen as the observation point on 25 specimens of adult human feet perfused with red latex.The following contents were observed under surgical magnifier:①The origin,courses,branches and distribution of the perforator of Plantar arch.②The anastomoses among the perforator of Plantar arch and the fete arteriosum dorsale pedis.Mimic operation was performed on another fresh specimen perfused with red latex.Results There were 3 perforators in Plantar arch,which passed through the 2nd-4th metatarsal dorsal muscles to the dorsi pedis and then divided into an ascending branch and a descending branch.The ascending branch anastomosed with the rete arteriosum dorsale pedis,and the descending branch stretched to the 2nd-4th plantar arteries.The initiative outer diameters of the 1st-3rd dorsal perforators of Plantar arch were (1.5 ± 0.3)mm,(1.1 ± 0.4) mm and (0.9-± 0.3) mm respectively,and the lengths of the stem were (1.1 ± 0.2) cm,(1.5 ± 0.1) cm and (1.5 ± 0.5) cm respectively.Conclusion The flap can be used for repair of soft-tissue defects of dorsal and front foot through dorsal transposition or a V-Y advancing flap with the perforator of Plantar arch as its vascular pedicle.

Objective: To investigate the morphological characters of the dorsal perforators originated from the deep palmar arch, so as to provide anatomic basis for V-Y advanced perforator flap. Methods: The following contents were investigated in 30 adult hand specimens perfused with red latex under surgical magnifier: ①The origin, courses, branches and distribution of the dorsal perforators originatedd from the deep palmar arch. ②The characters of anastomosis among the dorsal perforators, the dorsal carpal and metacarpal arteries. Mimic operation was performed on another fresh specimens perfused with red latex. Results: There were three perforators originated from the deep palmar arch, which passed through the 2nd-4th dorsal interossei and then divided into an ascending branch and a descending branch at the dorsum of hand. Then the ascending branch anastomosed with the dorsal carpal artery, and the descending branch stretched to the 2nd-4th dorsal metacarpal arteries. The originating outer diameters of the 1st-3rd perforators were (1.1±0.2) mm, (0.9±0.3) mm and (0.7±0.1) mm respectively, and the length of the stems were (1.1±0.3) cm, (1.0±0.2)cm and (0.9±0.1) cm respectively. Conclusions The V-Y advanced perforator flap with the dorsal perforator of the deep palmar arch as its vascular pedicle could be used to repair the dorsal carpal or dorsal metacarpal soft tissue defects.

OBJECTIVE To develop a mobile intelligent pharmacy management assistant system （abbreviated as “assistant system”）， thus providing convenient support for the daily operational management of pharmacies. METHODS The system was developed using the WeChat developer tools with WXML， WXSS， and JavaScript based on the platform as a service （PaaS）. Test users were recruited， and in five different scenarios， namely pharmaceutical knowledge inquiry， drug damage registration， medication error data analysis， drug expiration date registration， and duty handover， the task execution time was recorded for both the new （assistant system） and old （paper-based records and fixed computer records） modes. Additionally， users’ opinions on the advantages of the new mode were collected. RESULTS The assistant system comprised six modules: shift handover， pharmaceutical knowledge database， medication error registration， drug expiry management， drug damage registration， and medication consultation records. Among 10 test users， in all scenarios except for the shift handover record， the task execution time under the new mode was shorter than that under the old mode （P＜0.05）. Most test pharmacists highlighted that the primary advantages of the new mode lie in its iterative flexibility， and ease of use among other benefits. CONCLUSIONS The assistant system based on PaaS cloud model WeChat mini program developed in this study can significantly improve the daily management efficiency of the pharmacy and optimize the task execution experience for pharmacists.
